Asian parents frustrated by attention son gets because he is blonde
Sydney couple Christine Cheung and Aaron, both of Asian descent, welcomed their first child Lucas two years ago but were shocked to find that he had a rare medical condition.
- It took over a year for Christine and Aaron Cheung, of Sydney, to find out about their son's rare condition
- Lucas, 2, has tricho hepato enteric syndrome with one of the main symptoms being blonde hair
- But with Lucas' parents being of Asian descent, Mrs Cheung is asked at least three times a day why her son has blonde hair
- It is believed there are only two families in Australia who have the disorder
- The syndrome has only been recorded 44 times worldwide
- Mrs Cheung says she is frustrated when rude strangers sk her if Lucas is her real son
